Event description: Watch a historic space launch live at Space Center Houston. The nonprofit is hosting a watch party for NASA’s Artemis 1 mission launching to the Moon on Sept. 3. Guests will participate in fun activities, giveaways and more celebrating humanity’s next giant leap.
Take part in this historic day and learn about the Artemis program.
Artemis I will be the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems: the Orion spacecraft, the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the ground systems at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. This is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions. Artemis I will be an uncrewed flight test helping to inform future missions. During this flight, the Orion spacecraft will launch on the most powerful rocket in the world, the SLS and fly farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown.
The watch party is included in general admission. To learn more and for tickets, visit www.spacecenter.org.
